Hi all! My older girl, Merlin, is around 9. She's very, very lazy and was a bit overweight for her last vet check up. I am cutting her feeders back quite a bit, but she is still super picky about veggies. I have seen slurry recipes around, but should I just blend a bunch of veggies into a liquid...

Hey beardie friends, thanks for taking the time to read through this. Scooter is about a year and a half. I rescued him off Craigslist back in February, and he has sprouted like a bean - grew a bunch. For the past several weeks, his poops have been RANK. Like, smelling up the whole house almost...

Hey guys, I have a 7 year old lady and she can't move around too much, has a bum back leg. Anyhow, I have a 100 watt basking bulb above her basking spot, but the temps are still about 10 degrees too cool. I have seen pics where there are more than one basking light bulb - could I add a second...

Hi all! I have an older beardie around 6, and recently I got another baby to add to my family. She's doing great and settling in wonderfully, however I have a question about handling. I would like her to hang out with me, and I put her on my shoulder often. She always tries to find a way off, to...

Hey everyone, my girl has been super lethargic and sleepy. She has been going to bed earlier and earlier. I posted in another group and they immediately directed to some brumating articles. My girl is going to sleep after only 5-6 hours awake. Once she starts to burrow, I turn her lights off. My...

Hey everyone, been having some trouble with my girl Merlin. She is an older beardie. I went out of town a few weeks ago for 2 days and I came back and she had a little sore on her paw. Took her to the vet but it is still persisting. We have been giving her antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and...

Hi everyone, I made a post last week about my old girl Merlin. I went out of town for 2 days last weekend, and when I came back, she had what appears to be a small sore on her front right paw. It didn't clear up after that week (I applied Neosporin but it didn't seem to help at all), so today we...

Hi everyone! My girl Merlin is around 4-5 years old. She has always had a bum front leg, but has never had any trouble scooting to get around etc. She sometimes has some trouble crawling up onto her log, and often has to drag herself/loses balance etc. I recently found this little sore-looking...

Hi there! I recently got a beardie who is about 4 years old. I have had her for a month or so, but this isn't my first beardie :-) She has been super mega chill so far, but for the past few days she's been wild! Rubbing her head against the glass in her viv. I don't think she's about to shed...

Hey everyone! Super thankful for this forum. I have a new bearded dragon named Merlin, and I am guessing that she is around 4-5 years old. She has a bit of trouble getting around, but I love her! The breeder I bought her from said that she can have problems pooping sometimes, and it's been...

Heya everyone, I have been coming to these forums for support and help since I got my little leatherback back in the fall of last year, when she was around 3 months old. We have been together since at least August, making her close to 10 months old. I have posted before but I am posting again...

Hiya all, I made a post the other day about the size of my beardie - she is only 9.5'' at around 8 months old. Her diet has been mostly hornworms, phoenix worms, silk worms, butterworms mostly. Could the lack of dubia and crickets cause such a growth stunt? Thanks

Hiya all, I have a baby leatherback who is about 8 months old or so. She has great set up, 40 gal tank, well furnished, temps look good with a basking spot between 100-110 & plenty of cool area. She has a diet of mostly dubias, hornworms, butterworms, & phoenix worms. My question is, I feel as...

Hey all, parent of a 4-5 month year old lil baby leatherback. I tried to take a pic of underneath her to determine sex, but something else caught my eye - a lot of blue / black on tummy. She has been eating fine and pooping. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have about a 4 month old baby leatherback. She's my first beardie ever. It sure has been a wild, fun, and worrisome ride! Haha! About a month ago, tried to move her from her little 20 gallon into her big girl 40 gallon tank - she was running around like a maniac, and someone here...

Hi all! I have adopted the littlest little thing about 2 months ago. I believe she is about 5 months old now, around 9''. She is still very skittish, and when I take her out of her cage she is always trying to escape, etc. I am afraid to let her explore as she is still so tiny and has almost...

Hey everyone! I have a 3-4 month old leather back who is about 9 inches. I'd been feeding her superworms which are terrible! She was constipated for a bit, which I cleared up with some help from olive oil. It was quite the escapade. Now, we are on a healthy diet of hornworms, phoenix, silk...

Hi everyone! I have a 3-4 month old leatherback and I wuv her to bits. She doesn't drink (that I've seen), and she hates baths. Should I be actively hydrating her with a dropper or something? Thanks everyone!

Hey all, I had a scare with my little girl a few weeks ago. She is around 3 months old, only about 8 inch. She had stopped eating! We finally nailed down the problem. I fed her some superworms just to get her to eat, and now she won't touch anything else. I offered her crickets, phoenix, and...

Hi everyone! I get my insects from rainbowmealworms.com for my 3 month old baby. We get a sampler packs for babies (dubias, horn, phoenix, etc) but not silk worms. I would like to introduce her to them, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a US seller. I've found one or two, but...
